Few steps you should know before choosing best motor for your application
Continuous duty
Continuous duty is by far the simplest and most efficient application. The duty cycle begins with startup, then long periods of steady operation where the heat in the motor can stabilize as it runs. A motor in continuous duty can be operated safely at or near its rated capacity because the temperature has a chance to stabilize.
Intermittent duty
Intermittent duty is more complicated. The life of commercial airplanes is measured by their number of landings; in the same way, the life of a motor is proportional to the number of starts it makes. Frequent starts shorten life because inrush current at startup heats the conductor rapidly. Because of this heat, motors have a limited number of starts and stops that they can make in an hour.
